BAREILLY, Jan. 12 -- As encroachments have emerged as a major hurdle in the widening of the road connecting the mini bypass to Jhumka Chauraha in Bareilly, the municipal corporation has issued to around 300 squatters in the past week or so warning them if the illegal structures are not removed within the stipulated time, bulldozer action will be initiated to clear the stretch. However, the proposed action has triggered objections from a section of affected residents. They allege that the civic body is selectively targeting certain people, demanding a fair and uniform action against all encroachments along the route. Municipal commissioner Sanjeev Kumar Maurya said the road-widening and Ring Road projects are crucial for easing traffic congestion and ensuring smoother connectivity in Bareilly. He reiterated that encroachment removal is necessary to facilitate development works and appealed to residents to cooperate with the administration. Bareilly has also witnessed commencement of construction work on its much-awaited Ring Road project. The Ring Road will begin at Jhumka Chauraha on the Lucknow-Delhi highway and extend up to Shahjahanpur Road....
